Dear FilCom,
Please be advised that the Korea Immigration Service has extended the Voluntary Exit Program up to 31 October 2010.
Voluntary deportees will continue to be exempt from fine and entry restriction until 31 October 2010. Arrested illegal stayers will still be subject to fine and ban on re-entry. After the program ends, voluntary leavers will be restricted to enter Korea for one to two years.
For the period 06 May 2010 – 25 August 2010, there were 356 Filipino voluntary deportees.
Attached is a copy of the public release from the Ministry of Justice website (http://www.moj.go.kr/). Likewise attached is POLO’s unofficial English translation.
